3D printing service company expands its UK team

Voxeljet UK Ltd has appointed two new members of staff to its industrial 3D printing services operation based in Milton Keynes – one of the largest 3D printed sand and investment casting operations in the UK.

Naresh Makenji and Bee Mal (pictured, with managing director, James Reeves, centre) have both joined the rapidly expanding company with more than 20 years’ experience between them in their respective fields. Makenji will take up the role of operations manager and Mal, the role of office manager. Both will be based within voxeljet’s specialist service centre in the UK.

Makenji said: “I have worked in advanced manufacturing and engineering all of my career. My last few projects have been with rapidly growing organisations, like voxeljet. I was really excited by the services voxeljet offers to industry, whether it’s a prototype or larger scale mould assembly.”

Mal said: “When I learned about voxeljet and the specialist 3D printing work they have done with some well-known automotive firms, architects and in the entertainment industry, I was excited to join the team. I’m thrilled to take on the new challenges that come my way – it’s definitely an interesting time to join this industry!”

Speaking about the expansion of the team managing director, James Reeves, said: “Naresh and Bee’s collective experience and backgrounds will make them a great addition to our business. They’re the type of people who are ready to get stuck in and help us deliver on our growing portfolio of clients in the UK, as well as support the company as we target new business opportunities.”

The two roles are new to the company and Makenji and Mal join at a time when the UK operation is massively expanding its 3D printing service to foundries, OEMs, automotive, aviation and heavy industries. voxeljet is known for fast, cost-effective and accurate production capabilities in 3D printed sand and investment casting.

Voxeljet UK Ltd is part of voxeljet AG, a global leader in industrial 3D printing technology. The company has offices in Germany, US, UK, India and China.
